This meeting will consist of themed plenary sessions with talks from invited speakers. There will also be parallel scientific workshops organised by members of the cytometry community and parallel commercial workshops. There will be a large exhibition and the opportunity to network with flow and image cytometrists from all over Europe and beyond. The meeting will highlight advances in flow and image instrumentation, high content screening, cancer and stem cell biology, applications of clinical cytometry and the development of novel probes and approaches in many areas of biomedical research.

This Annual UK-based EBSD meeting is an excellent opportunity for the multidisciplinary EBSD community to meet and share the newest developments and applications of EBSD, and EBSD-related techniques. EBSD is used to study materials across geoscience, materials science and engineering, and physical science. There are also exciting emerging applications of EBSD to the biological sciences. Talks will include state-of-the-art developments in instrumentation and software, new techniques, as well as a variety of applications and uses of EBSD, transmission Kikuchi diffraction (TKD), electron channelling contrast imaging (ECCI), and related microscopy modalities.

Session 1: Applications of EBSD in a correlative microscopy pipeline; Session 2: Earth and Planetary Science; Session 3: Developments in pattern indexing and data quality; Session 4: Metallurgical and structural materials; Session 5: EBSD on semiconductors, functional and energy materials; Session 6: New technical developments and future opportunities for EBSD

Recent advancements in microscopy technology have revolutionized our ability to routinely acquire large, multi-dimensional image datasets. However, gaps remain in the effective analysis of this data, primarily due to a lack of computational skills among researchers. This often results in a reliance on qualitative, manual image assessments, which lack the precision, reproducibility, and scalability that automated, quantitative analysis can provide. To bridge this gap, this two-day workshop is designed to empower microscopists and researchers with the necessary skills and tools to confidently analyse their data. Under the instruction of experienced core facility staff from the Francis Crick Institute and King’s College London, participants will be introduced to open-source tools such as FIJI and napari, and will be introduced to methodologies for automating their image analyses, thus enhancing research precision, efficiency, and reproducibility.

The Light Microscopy Summer School is a two day course held at the University of York covering the principles of light microscopy. Participants are also trained in practical issues surrounding light microscopy. After introductory presentations, the course is taught predominantly through hands-on practical sessions. The course is suitable for both novices and more experienced users wanting to gain a greater understanding of the microscope and feedback every year is always fantastic. Students usually come from a range of backgrounds, within both research and commercial organisations. All benefited greatly from the course and left with increased understanding and skills. The course is immediately followed by a two-day hands-on Confocal Course - Getting the most from your Confocal Course

This two day annual confocal course utilises many different sample types and fluorescent probes (DNA stains, classic antibody labels and fluorescent proteins) which are chosen to best demonstrate particular problems and techniques. Focus is always on the techniques they enable and the problems they generate, which will be applicable to any sample types. Day 1 takes participants through the basic principles of confocal microscopy and then shows them how to configure and image multicolour, multidimensional samples using a confocal microscope. Day 2 builds on the experience of day 1 and demonstrates FRAP and spectral profiling.

The Microscience Microscopy Congress will be back in 2025! One of the biggest events of its kind in Europe, mmc2025 incorporating EMAG 2025 will bring you the very best in microscopy, imaging and cytometry from across the globe. With six parallel conference sessions, a world-class exhibition, workshops, satellite meetings, an international Imaging Competition and more, it is simply the place to be for anyone who uses a microscope for work, study or pleasure.

This meeting is designed to talk about the current challenges in developing and using super-resolution microscopy. With short talks and lots of time for discussion, the workshop will discuss recent advances in super-resolution imaging from new developments in imaging to analysis of super-resolution data. We particularly want to encourage early career researchers to attend and contribute to the meeting. Please contact the organisers if you would like more information on how to contribute.

Microscopy is a key methodology in life science research, where the reliability of scientific findings based on data generated on microscopes rely on substantiated qualitative and quantitative image data analysis. Due to the complexity of the data, without expert guidance, it is very likely that image analysis algorithms may be applied incorrectly, possibly even producing erroneous results. Moreover, the diversity of imaging modalities, analysis algorithms and software solutions is growing so rapidly that even experts are overwhelmed. This course aims to promote excellence in bioimage analysis, targeting scientists who already work in this area or harbor ambitions to do so – and will instruct on the latest developments in the field with ample group and networking activities with leading experts in the topic.
